Warhammer Fantasy Ruins Terrain inspired by 3d Printing Minis

I love the style of Warhammer Fantasy and when Highland Miniatures reached out to me I immediately printed some models which I feel are inspired by Games Workshop Warhammer Fantasy and Mordheim. In doing so it inspired me to make some new wargaming ruins terrain!
In this tutorial video I will make some Old World Warhammer Fantasy and Mordheim wargaming ruins terrain that can easily be used with any tabletop games such as: Warhammer Age of Sigmar, Warhammer Fantasy Battles, Dungeons & Dragons, Frostgrave and War Cry.

[@DevsDice]

Hey good people! With this project I tackled some ruins that can be used Warhammer Fantasy, Mordheim, Frostgrave or D&D! I want to thank Ramon Belmonte over at Highland Miniatures for sponsoring this project and providing me with some awesome miniatures! I really like the end result of both the terrain and the miniatures! Please tell me what YOU thought of the video in the comments down below! Stay safe and lots of love to you all! 👍💙💛💙

9:42 Highland Miniatures! YES

[@DevsDice]

Highland Miniatures does some really awesome miniatures! And also the person modelling all of the things is a helluva nice person! 👍😊

[@Atmoseeker]

Individual bricks are a labour of love for sure. There's faster ways, but nothing beats the look imo. Looks fantastic mate! I'll also chime in and say I love those 60s segments too.

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Seb! Yeah individual bricks is really the best so far with foam. I know there exist more dense foam which you can sculpt better but with what I have , individual bricks is king! Good to know about the 60 second segments! 👍😀

[@Nyoh_5]

I really like that you use the more complicated and more detailed method instead of the 'easier' one

[@DevsDice]

Thank you Neo! Well the thing is that I always aim to use the terrain pieces I make so for me it makes sense to make them as good as I can! Glad it's appreciated! 👍🤣

[@CampaignTerrain]

Really nice, Leif. I especially appreciated the stairs, and the note about keeping brick dimensions in mind

[@DevsDice]

Thank you! Yeah the stairs is a game changer for me! 👍😀

[@brotquel1592]

Oh gosh, in one of the last shots you can see a red-themed knight jousting a silver-themed knight and I swear: the headdress of the "red" horse is the headdress for the horses in the old Castle LEGO sets!

[@DevsDice]

Hahahahaha! I would not be surprised! 🤣👍

[@NatesMiniatures]

Freaking awesome Leif, the process of raw XPS foam to paint brick looks amazing. I absolutely love the tones you went with here and your thought on where the brick would weather the most over time. And coupled with Highlands Miniatures stuff, amazing! keep up the good work brother.

[@DevsDice]

Thanks Nate! The Highland Miniatures...ehh...miniatures are GREAT! Yeah I am happy about the color scheme of the ruins as well! 👍🤣😉

[@rayslover8526]

I like that wood grain was trick. I'm stealing that.

[@aecascais]

These look really awesome, I'll try to recreate them for my frostgrave table some day!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much and good luck! Have fun Aecascais! 👍😀

[@AzraelThanatos]

It might have been a good idea to add some brickwork to the bases for the ruins, it looks kind of odd that it's got a rough ground with the stone buildings rather than portions of stonework there as well

[@DevsDice]

Good idea! 👍😊

[@BodyByBenSLC]

That work station is bad ass!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you Athiest Monk! It's constantly in flux! 👍😂

[@DevsDice]

[@JennellJaquays]

I really enjoyed this one. Your stair design, in particular, inspired a change to the 3D-printable game tiles that I've been working on for a few years.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Jennell! Yeah the stairs was a stroke of simple brilliance which, like I said, I am sure I am not the first one to come up with! Happy regardless that the design helped you! 👍😊

[@kallisto9166]

Nice work Leif! Making ruins is so satisfying. Apart from anything else, you can hide crimes easily; that bit's ruined, it's meant to look like that. I like Highland Miniatures as well. They have a nice balance of detail, with enough there to provide visual interest, but not so much that the figure looks too busy and becomes a hassle to paint.

[@DevsDice]

I really agree on both accounts. Doing "ruined" things is a lot easier in one way for sure and Highland Miniatures does do some awesomely balanced sculpts! 👍😊

[@creaturescavernscrafting2929]

Excellent video! Really dig the Old School vibe. Stay warm.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much! Yeah I have a certain nostalgic love for the old-school aesthetics! 👍😊

[@chasonlapointe]

Great capstone to a year of awesome videos! You may not have made as many as you would have liked but the ones you did were amazing. Looking forward to seeing what you make in 2022!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Chason! Yeah this coming year will hopefully be more balanced in terms of work and private! Hoping for the best at least! 👍😊

[@niklasastrand5434]

Yay. Great to have another video to watch! Those ”60 seconds” speed works were a great addition. Enjoy new year’s eve and enjoy Ivanhoe!

Warhammer Fantasy Battles ! 😍🤤

[@DevsDice]

Something like that yeah! 👍😂

[@goblincavecrafting]

Looks so good!! Really reminded me of some of the ruins in Dragon Age: Inquisition too! I love the sheer extent of the detail and thought you put into the placement of every tile and brick, and the beams look great! When medieval castles and the like were built, they would have wooden supports (like scaffolding), which you can see evidenced in surviving buildings where they built around them and then the wood has since rotted away, so you’ve got historically accurate details there too :). It’s such a beautiful end result, and really inspiring to watch. Thanks again, Leif, you’ve nailed it yet again!!!

[@DevsDice]

You are too kind! It makes me happy to hear that I wasn't too much off when it comes to the historical accuracy! 👍😀

[@ericfountain1807]

Awesome video again Leif, and Ivanhoe is a great movie.

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Eric! Ivanhoe is like the second best "knight-film" I think! 👍😂

[@scottsarcanecraft379]

Really impressive build! Talk about bricks and more bricks. The color tones you used in this build look really amazing. I like how you started with the burnt umber and the means you accented the areas to look like moss were a fabulous idea and look great. I just might need ti attempt to build something like this. Great video!

[@DevsDice]

Thank you so much Scott! Yeah the paintjob came out nice! I think this might be how I paint ruined/weathered stones going forward! 👍🙂

@@DevsDice I make them in bulk too, I like throwing in some rocks and screws in a bucket with the bricks and over shapes and shake the shit out of it for five minutes and get great results

[@DevsDice]

Yeap that sounds kind of like my process as well! Note the taped bottom of the plastic container! Some shakes crack plastic! 👍🤣
